Last night I watched episodes of the old My Little Margie television program (1952-1955) streaming on Amazon. It was probably the first time I’d looked at the show since it aired originally. I thought it was harmless fluff but I’m not particularly sensitive to social issues and since all of the characters are stereotypes there are probably lots of people today who would find it objectionable, as much for what it omitted as for what it portrayed.
It’s interesting from a production standpoint. If I’m not mistaken, it was shot with a single camera, unlike the way later TV programs (and movies) have been shot. The actors are almost entirely B movie actors. They do a workmanlike job of producing what is essentially B fare.
